We we're planning on going to Art & Elmas last Saturday but we pulled up and read a notice on the door that they were closed for Covid. We really enjoy the Steaks and Salad bar and never had a bad dinner! Our group decided to go the Sorrento's as it's been over 5 years since the last visit Everything was very average and it came to me why we haven't tried them for a number a years. 3 of us has steaks and we all commented on how tough the meat was. Soup was lukewarm and the salad was ok. Drinks were weak but the Ice Cream drinks were great! Back to Art & Elmas when they open back up! read more

The place was clean. My grandson wanted me to give it 1000 stars but I was only allowed 5 stars. Food and atmosphere are great! The staff is always friendly and extremely helpful and quick with their service. My grandson loves the spaghetti along with the crackers and butter before dinner. read more

Sorrento's Restaurant - Happy face after enjoying a delicious dinner! - Steakhouses Near Me - Maple Park, Illinois

We have been here twice and I think I found my favorite dish this time. It is right across from the speedway, but just ignore that and go in anyway, you will like the food. When you enter the bar, it is a somewhat dark interior and very like what you would expect from an old school supper club - cushy booths and tables, cozy interior. To start with, the service was very fast and extremely friendly. Our waitress was warm and welcoming and gave us her drink recommendation, which was their old fashioned. The drink had an orange and cherry on it and it was very good. Sweet but strong at the same time. They bring out their relish tray which was carrots, green onions and radishes with a side of their home-made pimento dip. I always ask for a side of ranch for the veggies and use the pimento on the bread. The bread was fresh with a nice crust, but it would be better if were warm. We opted for the cream of chicken soup, which had very rich, creamy flavor, but there wasn't much in it. Some noodles and minimal veggies. Would have went for the french onion, but the last time I did that, I was too full by the time dinner arrived. Especially with their french onion which was thick and full of cheese and onions. Next up were the salads. I opted for garlic and hubby went with bleu cheese. He got the salad with the bleu cheese crumbles and he said it was a good thing, otherwise the dressing was bland. The garlic was one of the best ones I've ever had, not too strong, not too weak. Just right. I went with the Chicken Vesuvio and opted for twice baked potato instead of wedges. Hubby went with the chopped sirloin served with sauteed onions. After eating the chicken vesuvio, I decided that I never again needed to go another Greek restaurant again. Tears of happiness and contentment. JOY, JOY, JOY! It was soooooo good. Nice size pieces of chicken, broccoli and carrots. In a creamy, rich, garlic white wine sauce with lemon dancing through the dish. Hubby was equally pleased. He said his sirloin wasn't dry, had alot of flavor and he was very happy with the dish. LOTS of onions (stay away from me! LOL!) But oh so good. This place is quite a distance from our house, but totally worth it. The bill was around $60 w/o tip, but that was with two drinks and dessert. Didn't say much about dessert, because I don't remember it, except that it was good. Chocolate cake... read more

Sign on door must wear mask to enter. We had masks on. Girl at reservations desk wearing mask below nose then gave us off to older women with no mask. Looking around 1/2 the staff had no masks. Our waitress was wearing a mask, that is only reason we stayed. Potato Soup was definitely out of a can. Salad was warm. Prime rib was good and cooked exactly how I asked for it. Partners said orange roughy was good but definitely not what he had been served in Florida. Waitress was attentive. Won't be back till mask mandate is over. Definitely did not feel safe. read more

I love Sorrento's and the old school feel of the place. I came here after my sisters graduation and they sat us down right away, the place is massive so it was really good for a big group. The best part of Sorrento's is that it is a meal with bread, soup, salad, and then an entree which you just don't really see anymore. For the soup, get french onion for sure it was some of the best I have ever had. I got the filet mignon for dinner even though the prime rib is what they are famous for. The filet was fantastic for anyone that aren't big fans of Prime rib. The atmosphere has a lakehouse like feel to it and it's a really nice place to sit down for a nice meal. The service was really good even though we were there on a busy Sunday night. Overall, for sure give Sorrento's a shot it is one of the best steak places around. read more

Sorrento's Restaurant - French Onion soup - Steakhouses Near Me - Maple Park, Illinois

I get to visit my family in Downers Grove once or twice a year from my home in California. About 7 or 8 years ago my dad was searching out for his favorite, prime rib, and I came across Sorrento's, with reviews noting good food and good value, even if not close to DG. On multiple occasions we tried to plan a visit "out west", preferably on a Wed night, but it fell through EVERY time....until tonight. Great things are worth waiting for! I told my parents it was "surprise" dinner night and my daughter and I drove the 45 min to take them out to the boonies. They seemed a little skeptical but trusted me. Immediately upon entering I could see the smiles on their face with the old school look, and it got even better with the relish tray and bread/crackers basket. My mom commented on the wonderful looking menu but we were there for one thing...prime rib! But wait, in addition to the starters, you get soup...and salad...not to mention a side with dinner! Service was attentive and 3 prime rib dinners and a garlic shrimp pasta dinner were ordered. Soups were good, especially the extra $$ baked french onion...dad and my daughter were in heaven. Salad was fresh and crisp. Great start. $28 Wed night prime rib specials arrived, and I'm not sure I have ever seen a bigger cut of beautifully marbled beef like that before. No way any of us were going to finish ours. It was simply superb, nicely seasoned and just the right amount of au jus. Even better was dipping some of the bread with the meat Just perfect. My daughter similarly enjoyed her shrimp dish with 7 nor-so-shrimpy shrimp! The to go boxes are now filled with enough for at least 1 if not more meals for each of us. I wish we would have had room for the chocolate cake. The joy that this meal and surroundings brought to parents' face was as good as the food itself. Just a great night all around and come holiday time, we might be looking for a table for about 14 people! read more

For our first time we were not impressed, the service was just ok, she was not too friendly. The minestrone soup not great and steaks didn't seem like they were high end steaks. I've had better at my local grocery store. Mine came cook well done but my SIL was nice enough to trade. The carrot cake was good. The atmosphere was dingy and of course the waitress got friendlier around tip time. It's hard for me to give this 3 stars. read more

Waiter was extremely rude. Big boy with a pierced ear brought the book back and demanded a bigger tip, told us it wasn't even ten percent and that it should have been bigger since we stayed 30 minutes after close. We didn't even know it was closing. We were planning on leaving a cash tip but didn't. Never coming back. read more

Fantastic meal and service! Highly recommend! Been going there for 25 years! Prime rib is to die for!

It's the first time we tried this place located in a countryside area, we are glad we did! This is a old fashioned steakhouse and the interior presents a very elegant, cozy, and intimate tone; once you step inside, you can feel it. The waiting staff is all very friendly and we like our waiter as well. Soup- Try their baked French onion soup it's definitely worth to pay a bit extra! It's fresh and tastes excellent with the melting cheese. The soup is light, not like other places with some sort of strong can taste. It's very good! Steak- my partner ordered a strip steak and he likes it a lot especially considering the amount they offer. Fish- I ordered their white fish with lemon-based butter. It's fresh with great seasoning. Side- we both chose garlic mashed potato and it's definitely one of the best we have tried. Dessert- we order their chocolate cake. It's fairly tasty! We'll absolutely want to go back to enjoy a relaxing, yet quality dinner next time. read more

We went here last Sunday and they were stingy with the bread and soup . The quality of my chicken parmasien was Chef Boyrdee quality. My Dad's mashed potatoes were instant. The turkey he had wasn't great either. There were only 4 cars there in the parking lot for Sunday lunchtime. This place is a shell of its former self. read more

Great food and service in a supper club atmosphere. Reasonable prices and daily specials.

Great food and service, easy to get to, like the old supper clubs we went to as kids.

A classic old school Midwest steakhouse providing an abundance of food. Great service, reasonably priced.

Even living in the suburbs, my wife and I still make the drive out here. Definitely an old school Wisconsin supper club feel. Decor is a little dated, but we definitely don't come to admire sconces. Service is always top notch and more than willing to accommodate the large groups we typically go with. The food is some of the best in the area. My wife typically tries the same thing. I have been stuck on prime rib for the duration of time we've been coming here. Simply put, the best prime rib I've ever had. read more

Sorrento's Restaurant - Best prime rib. Ever. - Steakhouses Near Me - Maple Park, Illinois

We're getting tired of the "trendy vibe" of restaurants in the western suburbs when Yelp told me about this little Italian Steakhouse in Maple Park. We decided to give it a go. The place is super easy to find. Walking in is like stepping back in time but in a very good way. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The food is good. Not remarkable but worth going back for. The portions are huge and they serve a full meal. Definitely get that 7-chocolate cake for dessert. Two of us split it but I think we could have split it with 3-4 people. read more

What a great little gem hidden in the cornfields! After some apple picking we yelped and found Sorrento's and decided to give it a try. We read about the Prime Rib and had to give it a try. Yes, the decor is dated but that's the magic of this old school supper club. Very clean and great service! To start they bring out a veggie tray and a bread basket with the most amazing cheese spread and butter. We had the king Prime Rib and Vinnie's Filet Special. Twice baked potato was good but the garlic mashed stole the show. Oh and I can't forget my favorite creamy garlic dressing. Delish! We finished out our meal with the chocolate cake! Yum! Very reasonably priced and definitely would come back again! So excited we found a new place! read more

I love reading the scathing remarks of people who can't even manage to use a little grammar. The proprietors of Sorrento's are simply fantastic people, you really couldn't hope to find restaurateurs with more integrity or humility. They are clearly detail and service oriented which is evident because of the level of class maintained for so long by the establishment. I'm also glad to see that the servers are getting a fair amount of credit because they really do work tirelessly. Seriously, they do not get to take breaks. The food is not all straight out of a package as some reviews may have you believe. It's freshly prepared by several chefs, all with at least a decade of experience, who arrive many hours before opening to start cooking. They are the reason that the prime rib has garnered so much favor. I'm vegetarian so I can't actually fully support a steakhouse venue, I'm just here to correct a few assumptions about the place and encourage those who do still enjoy meat to give Sorrento's a try. read more

We have had business Christmas parties. By far the best prime rib in the area. Always my favorite. You won't finish it. So it makes great lunch the next day read more

We hadn't been here for a couple of years. The food is still great and the service was excellent. They are known for their prime rib and it will not disappoint. I had their pork chops tonight and they were so tender and a big portion I had to bring home one of them for my lunch tomorrow. Food was a 10+. read more

Love the retro feel. But the steak & shrimp Sunday special, was not. Steak had no flavor at all, Large French Fry shrimp were good! Oil & Red Vinegar Dressing seemed to be watered down. Quiet but would not go again read more

Go to Sorrento's if you are in the boonies and need to satisfy your prime rib or steak hankering at a reasonable price. A definite supper club feel, this place is a great venue for a meal with the baby boomers. We took mom here for Mother's Day, and it is great for a late lunch or early dinner on a Sunday. The filets were good, cooked perfectly. My dad said the lamb was a bit overlooked. They serve fish too, but none of us tried it. Try the baked French onion soup for a heartier appetizer to your meal, because the salad is lackluster. For dessert we tried the carrot cake and chocolate cake. Save your appetite, fill yourself up with the steak or go somewhere else for dessert because the cakes were dry and bland. Service was fine, but a bit slow on the drink refills and clearing away plates. Prices are reasonable for the cut of meat and all that is included with dinner. I'm not hating this place; it has a few things that are really good, and others that could use improvement. But I'm sure I will be back with my parents in the future - and I'll focus on the simple filet and skip (or forgive) the rest. 3 stars Last visited 5/12/13 read more

I'm not even sure how this gem has eluded us all of these years! The Wednesday Prime Rib Special is not to be missed! The throwback relish tray evokes a by-gone era when "dinner" was an event! Your thoughtful and courteous server (Shanna)will gladly bring you more of their house cheese spread, but you'll just fill up on it and leave yourself insufficient space for the rest of the meal. ***SPOILER ALERT!*** The cheese spread has pickle relish in it!!! It left me stumped and our server gladly brought us another to try and figure it out! Delightful! When was the last time you ate at a place that INCLUDES soup & salad & starch with the entree??? Not to mention a bone-in piece of prime rib the size of a football!!! Seasoned and cooked to perfection, this masterpiece is just $25 on Wednesday! It's worth repeating: THIS ENTIRE MEAL IS $25 ON WEDNESDAY! The menu is ample and, eventually we'll try something else, but our Wednesday's are fully booked for the foreseeable future! Conveniently located 20 minutes from everywhere, Sorrento's is definitely worth the trip! read more

You must try their version of saganaki!!!! Service was great, The atmosphere was charming which would be great for a date night.

My wife & I are Supper Club fans and this fits the profile where their they serve a relish tray right off the bat along with soup & salad with your meal. I ordered the aged 18 oz strip steak with mushrooms & double baked potato which was tender & juicy. Their mushroom soup was good, the salad had a great ranch dressing and their steak was more than I could eat. My wife had two boned 1" thick pork chops with broccoli & au gratin potato. The chops were delicious, both tender & moist. She especially loved the au gratin potato. Portions were so big we had to take the rest home. Staff was very friendly and the service was great where the food kept coming at a nice flow. We will definitely come back! read more

Super club dinning with Italian flare. Older style setting, but food quality was very good.

This is the place to go....the food is so delicious and priced accordingly!!! You can get a Ribeye steak on Friday's special for $26!!! And on other days $31....you get an entree, soup & salad, potatoes and a relish tray with bread.... garlic dressing is simply delicious. Had searched Ellwood steak & fish house and they charge $40 for a steak...... yes do the math. I have been to both places and Sorrentos's is by far the BESTEST!!! Everything is fresh and tasty.... the Service is beyond amazing. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT..... Money well spent, this is my go to steakhouse.... read more

Jerry and joy a bowl restaurant always has a positive atmosphere weight staff is fantastic

In the middle of nowhere sits this old-school, frozen-in-a-different era, totally unhip, un-ironic, dinosauric time-capsule of a supper club. It is as square as a Republican Bachelor Party. From the look of most of the clientele you would swear you were either at a Republican Bachelor Party where the Men brought their wives along for good measure, or a seminar for Post-retirement planning. (No disrespect intended). The Menu is free of hyperbole, and cleverness. It's straight and narrow. It is one of the single greatest restaurants in Northern Illinois, and maybe the Country. This is what high-class "going out" was back in the day. If you catch the rhythm, you'll see that this is still a high-class joint. And the food--meaning Steak and Prime Rib--is divine. Order an Old-fashioned, or a Martooni, or a Manhattan. It will be made perfectly. You get a relish tray, just like in the day-radishes, celery, etc. A perfect light appetizer. Maybe a salad or a soup (The baked French Onion is a work of Art)-all perfect. All of this in anticipation of the main event-a hunk of bloody-rare Prime Rib the size and shape of a Birthday Cake. Perfectly seasoned. Perfect in every way. (yes, of course you can get it cooked to the temperature you like--it's my review, though) Or a Steak like a Clincher Softball. Yep-perfect! It ain't cheap-cheap, but at the same time, it won't disturb the molecular structure of your Credit Card. WORTH every penny!! Dress up just a little, Get in the car, put some Sinatra on the Stereo, and take the big drive out west. And dine like a King and Queen... read more

With Johnnys in Dekalb closing, we "refound" this hidden gem. While my wife does not like the decor, I find it very appealing. Like going to your grandparents house in Wisconsin. In fact, it has a Wisconsin supper club feel. The Prime Rib is second to none and very inexpensive, with the larger cut going for around 22 bucks. Side choices are plentiful and the staff very friendly. This is easy to show up here casual or dressed to the nines and still feel "in place". They bring out a cheese dip and veggie tray with bread when you sit down. TVs are only in bar and I do not think they have wifi, both are pluses for us. Kids will most likely feel at home here as well. Chicken ribs, steaks, fish are all on the menu. We have tried much of it and never been disappointed. Even when the lot looks full, we have never waited for a seat. This is probably due to the fact that it is almost TARDIS like being bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Highly recommended. read more

All I can say is, if this is a four-star suburban restaurant, I can never leave Chicago. I can't recall ever having such a terrible meal, and I really feel bad saying that. The server was really nice but this meal could not be redeemed. I was with friends looking for something to eat after Kuiper's, and honestly there were so few options, this seemed like the best one. Sadly none of us were happy. The veggie plate at the start looked old and wilted. Soup tasted like water. Alfredo tasted like NOTHING (literally). Salad was wilted. I don't know. I would have put this maybe on an applebee's type quality level before the food came out but it was not even that... sorry Sorrento's. read more

My wife and I recently moved back to Illinois and relocated in Maple Park and put Sorrento's on our bucket list for a special occasion dinner. They did not disappoint either, the management was very attentive and answered all my wife's questions in reference to the menu. Our waitress was also just as attentive and frequently checked on us to see if we needed anything. Now for the food: my wife had asked about two of their fish entrees and received a recommendation from management and ordered the Haddock, I ordered the surf and turf. The waitress confirmed the market price and came back to make sure I was comfortable with their price, thought that was nice. So we both started with baked French onion soup, the entrees include relish tray, bread, crackers, butter and their homemade cheese spread. Soup, salad and a side as well. The baked French onion soup includes an additional charge but WELL worth it. After our soup our salads were promptly served. Then came our main course, each meal was presented great and the taste was also great and great portions. We both had twice baked potatoes and the were delicious. I'm getting hungry again just writing the review, glad we have leftovers. Then came dessert, my wife ordered the Italian Cream Lemon cake and she was very impressed along with a Brandy Ice which was also excellent. I passed on dessert because I was stuffed. We will be back again and frequently, very happy it's only 9 minutes from our house. read more

Old School Super Club all the way! Is the decor dated? Yes An attentive wait staff? Yes Is it dark inside with soft lighting? Yes Oak wall panels with a wood beam ceiling? Yes A separate bar area for a cocktail before dinner? Yes Before ordering, do they serve a relish tray to munch on? Yes Do they serve the best prime rib cooked to your specifications? Yes O.K.! But will I need a doggie bag for a midnight snack? Depending, but Yes! read more

Outstanding restaurant. Reminds me of a super club in the North woods. Food and service is always out of this world. If something isn't right they will make it right. Never had a bad experience here. My wife and I got carry out the other night, they packaged up the salads, soup, bread, crackers, butter as well as the entrees. Enormous portions, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I highly recommend the ribs or the prime rib. read more

My server was fast, courteous and pleasent. The full slab of prime rib was extremely disappointing, I found it to be very tough with little taste. Combined with a poor glass of Pinot Noir this is establishment was not worth the 45 minute drive. read more

Here's an honest review for you. When you first see the building you're a little weirded out because it seems out of place. I mean it really seems out of place. You walk into a set of double doors. You don't think of it at the time but the doors are not aligned but consciously you're telling yourself that something isn't right. When you enter the restaurant you're met by darkeness. I'm not kidding it is really dark in this place. I'm boring myself while writing this so I'll get straight to the point. This place is awkward. The reviews of this place are fairly accurate. The bread that comes out before your meal should be warm and fresh. It wasn't either. The salad is mediocre with 1 cherry tomato and a dab of dressing. I give this restaurant 3 stores because despite the awkward feeling the food was actually pretty good. My tip would be to ask for your steak seasoned a little harder than usual because it taste a little bland. Good but bland. read more

For those who downvoted this restaurant because of the dated, dark decor or weird relish tray, they obviously have no idea what a real supper club is. Sorrentos is a real supper club. It may not be in Wisconsin, but everything from the decor to the Brandy Ice screams the real deal. They are justifiably famous for their prime rib. My husband's king cut was mammoth. Everyone except for me had the prime rib, and universally raved about the tenderness and flavor. My lemon chicken was also good. Our service was superb. Wish I could remember the name of the friendly young lady who served us, but she was attentive and seemed to genuinely want us to enjoy our experience. I thought the prices were reasonable for what we ordered (much cheaper than Chicago). We will return. read more

This continues to be one of the best kept secrets in the Western Suburbs. If you have the chance to get out to Sorrento's do not miss it! You will be very happy you went. read more

This place is a great hidden gem for steak and other terrific meals. I haven't had anything but the prime rib dinner for the last 20 or 30 times I have been there. The baked French onion soup is awesome, the blue cheese is homemade and it is always what I get on my salad. This place is older looking and the crowd is also mostly 55+. I really like this place and will continue to be a regular. The only thing I wish they would change is the wait staff uniforms- they are so dated! They look like something a polygamist cult would be forced to wear. Otherwise, go there! read more
